The Josh Innes Show - NFL Thanksgiving Weekend Recap

Episode Date: December 2, 2024

Hello friends! I'm back from our Thanksgiving trip to Memphis. We had a nice long weekend of NFL Ball. The Bears really did Eberflus Dirty. I really hate the Chiefs and root for their demise. Are the Eagles now firmly entrenched as a Super Bowl contender? Are the Ravens out of the convo? Why are the Texans so stupid? Also, I breakdown another horrible holiday movie.

Hello, Jamokes! What's going on? Monday, about 9 o'clock, fresh off the long holiday. Sorry that I didn't get any pods in. Left for Memphis on Wednesday, so... Didn't bring the computer or anything, didn't know. Honestly, I look staying at a very fancy hotel. Staying at the Peabody, downtown Memphis, where they got the ducks. And the ducks come out of the elevator, they stay in the fountain all day.

Then there's a whole to-do about how the ducks come out of the elevator. They stay in the fountain all day. Then there's a whole to do about how the ducks get out of the little fountain. And then they go back to the elevator and go up to their duck house on the roof of the Peabody Hotel. It's a wonderful hotel, beautiful, historic, southern gem of a hotel in Memphis. I'm a big Memphis guy. Jilly and I are big Memphis people. We've talked about this a lot. In fact, when I got fired in Philadelphia in 2016, I guess that was in August of 2016, there were like five, six, seven people that called me right away

like, hey, you want to come work here? Hey, you want to come work here? One of them was in Portland, Houston, and Memphis. I got a call from Memphis. And at the time, I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to go live in Memphis more than likely. And I guess as far as being a sports radio guy, Memphis wouldn't be the most appealing place. Although I do like the Grizzlies, but it just, it doesn't feel all that appealing, but I love Memphis as a city. It's a good food town. I like the vibes of it. I really like the vibes of the Grizzlies. Jilly and I are fans.

So we went to two games this weekend. We went Wednesday night and Friday afternoon to watch the Grizzlies. They won both of those. It's very rare that we get to see teams we root for win games. So that was nice. But I'm staying at this great hotel. And I just didn't feel like spending 15 bucks a night for wi-fi to do the pod and I'm thinking hell it's holiday anyway who the hell's gonna sit around

on a Thursday afternoon and listen to my podcast on Thanksgiving or the day after Thanksgiving so of course we missed out on prop to you drop this week so we will bring back prop to you drop later on this week as we should have what I guess a normal type of week whatever normal is for football it'll be more of a normal week relative to what we had last week with three Thanksgiving games Black Friday game we'll get more of a traditional schedule speaking of the NFL let's start there today I got a bunch of stuff to get into we'll give you a couple episodes today let's start though with the NFL to get into. We'll give you a couple episodes today. Let's start though with the NFL. You get Monday Night Football tonight, but let's look at football that

was over the week. Again, first game of Thanksgiving was the Bears and the Lions. The Bears finally fired Eber Flus after that disaster at the end of the game. By the way, the Lions are kind of getting into that Chiefs territory where they're getting a little lucky not as often as the Chiefs get lucky the Chiefs get lucky virtually every game and I'm waiting for their demise but the Bears gifted the Lions the game basically I mean they essentially gave them the game although the Lions were up big Bears rallied I mean, they essentially gave them the game, although the Lions were up big. Bears rallied. I mean, the Lions were dominating the game. Second half, Bears start slinging it a little bit.

Great live betting that I did in that game, taking Caleb's passing yards and some other receiving yards. I'm telling you guys, live betting, if you can do it, I advise you to live bet more than you actually bet bet. If you live in a place that has sports betting, like we were in Memphis. In Tennessee, you to live bet more than you actually bet bet. If you live in a place that has sports betting, like we were in Memphis, in Tennessee, you can live bet. You can't take prop bets in college games, which sucks. I'm a big prop bet guy and everything. Prop bets and live bets. Live prop bets in the NFL are so damn good.

Just to give you an example, like yesterday, I'm sitting at home and I'm watching the Texans and I'm like, screw it, Jilly. I'm driving back to Illinois and putting in some live bets. Boom, live bet on CJ Stroud, passing yards, hit. Boom, live bet on Tank Dell, who had zero passing yards at halftime. His live number was 20 and a half. Boom, he gets 23 yards in the second half. You want to hear an, okay, I know I got to get down to all these games. Epic, epic prop bet parlay I put together yesterday. So I'm sitting in Illinois. It's a live bet. I'm in the car. I'm listening to the Texans and the Jaguars fight on the field. So that game's taken forever. You get to halftime of the Steelers and Bengals.

And obviously, Rusty Wilson slinging. Joe really hadn't even gotten to slinging yet. He only had like 100 yards, I think, at halftime, something like that. But the situation was you could take alt passing yardage totals for far more value. So Russ Wilson had 257 passing yards at halftime. For him to get to 400 was something like plus 400. So $100 wins you 400. So I put Rusty Wilson to get to 400. I then took Joe Burrow to get to 275, which I think was also plus 400. Whatever it was, it somehow worked out where it was plus 800,

somewhere around plus 800 for those two things to happen. And of course, boom, those two things happen. I also took Jamar Chase live receiving yards. Dude has like a 60-yard touchdown or a 60 yard big play at the end of that game I take uh live uh Justin Jefferson boom he has a huge play like live betting this is my advice to you guys and maybe it doesn't sound as good as it does when you hear from the you know the the greats out there that give you the the and maybe this doesn't make me a good better maybe I'm not as good as the people that pick point spreads and can tell

you what to do before a game starts. I like to watch the flow of the game and jump in. Like I don't watch football games because I enjoy watching football games. Everything I watch about football is I watch it from a betting standpoint and like, all right, uh, let's see.

Okay. Joe Burrow is, you know, had, you know, his 0 for 6 in his first three drives. His passing yardage total is blank. Let's bet that. I did that while we were in Memphis. You want to hear an epic one. There was an epic one I hit.

Plus I forgot what it was. But what the actual number was. But it was during the Packers. And Dolphins. The Packers and Dolphins, the Packers and Dolphins game. So in that game, I took the live passing total of 500 yards between the two quarterbacks.

And I want to say it was plus like 300 or 400 for them to get to 500 yards. Boom, put a couple hundo on that. Boom, it's a hit. Like I love betting live bets. So that is my advice to you, kids. If you're going to gamble, if you live in a place where you can bet, live bet. Oh, we sat at Hooters in Memphis, and one of the sites, maybe DraftKings,

had boosts for live bets. And by live bets, they were like something to happen on the next drive they were live drive bets so like you could take Travis Kelsey to have a catch in the next drive or uh you know Brock Bowers to have a catch in the next drive we hit like three or four of those in a row that's where the fun is man sitting there and taking point spreads and like, well, I'm going to take the Chiefs minus the seven. Too much can go wrong in that type of shit. I'm looking for the best way to win. That's what I'm here to do.

I'm not here to show you how smart I am by whether or not I can tell you the point spread or I can tell you who's going to cover or I can tell you what to do before the game. I like to watch the game. First of all, I do that with prop bets because prop bets are easier to do before the game. I like to watch the game. First of all, I do that with prop bets because prop bets are easier to do than point spreads. Like I hate point spreads. I never take over-unders for the most part, unless it's maybe team totals. Like I'll tell you another thing I jumped in on. I jumped in on the live betting on the Georgia game, the Georgia-Georgia Tech game this weekend. I took a live bet on Iowa and Nebraska and took Iowa when they were plus money. That's the fun. Again, if I can give you any advice on that. And the Bears game where we started this conversation is a great example

because I think also in that game, I took Amon Ross St. Brown to have like seven more yards or whatever it was like his life totally needed seven more yards boom Amon Ross gets a big catch I needed the passing yards from Caleb Williams boom Caleb Williams goes and gets him in the second half it like I love live betting and the Bears one was pretty good to me in that one so Bears Lions Bears fire Eber Flus. They're a disaster. At the end of it, he tried to explain the situation by saying, look, I think we handled it right. We did it right. We just didn't execute. Nothing you did was right there. The whole situation was a disgrace. Even more disgraceful though, as bad as Eber Flus is,

and as bad as that situation was handled, the fact that they let this poor bastard have his media gathering on, I guess it would have been in that case Friday, the fact that they let this poor bastard talk to the media Friday morning and he says, yeah, I plan on coaching against San Francisco next week. And then they fired him like an hour later. That's some asshole shit to do. That is not a way to treat a human. That is wrong. As someone who's been in situations where management people have told me, you're our guy. Whenever we start laying people off, you're still going to stay around. And then boom, my ass is one of them that gets fired. I do feel bad for people in those scenarios. Like I don't feel bad that he got fired. He's

clearly shitty at his job. The bears clearly suck. They're a mess. So fire him all you want. Fire Eber Flus. Rock on. I'm all here for it. Knock yourselves out. But if you're going to do it, fire him before he talks to the media the next day going, hey, I'm playing on coach. Look, I'm the coach. And their reasoning for it allegedly was they didn't want people to be suspicious if they canceled his media availability. So you were so worried that people thought you might be firing the coach when you were firing the coach that you let the poor coach go out there and take the bullets and then still get fired. You suck bears. Your whole organization sucks. Eberflux sucks, but you suck too. And as far as the Lions go, like I dig the Lions. I think they can win the Super Bowl. I would say right now they will probably win the Super Bowl.

But all that said, they're starting to annoy me. I'm getting annoyed by just the vibe of the Lions. Like that was a lucky victory. Not as lucky as the Chiefs. The Chiefs have done it four or five times seemingly this year. For the fact the Chiefs have one loss, they could have four losses very easily, but we'll get into that. Giants and Cowboys, waste of everybody's time, but the Cowboys are back in the in the hunt graphic. They're five and seven, but who gives

a shit? I will say though that you're starting like Cooper Rush is a solid passing yards play guy. So keep that in mind. Dolphins and Packers. The Dolphins kind of still hanging around in the graphic. That was a game, though, that they were just never really in it. But they were close enough for two to keep throwing. So I got my passing yards. Thank you.

Packers are a legitimate Super Bowl threat. If Jordan Love stays healthy, they're one of the maybe two, three, four teams currently that I'd look at and go, I think they have a shot. And outside of like that main group of Lions, I don't know if you keep the Ravens in there right now, but Lions, Chiefs, Ravens, Eagles have to be in there now. You have to look at the Packers and say, could a team like the Packers beat an Eagles? Could they beat a Lions? Well, we're going to find out

because the Packers are playing the Lions coming up. They had to play them last time with a banged up Jordan Love. So healthy Jordan Love. We're going to see what they can do. I'm excited about that game. That'll be a real barometer for the Packers, who I think can win it all. Will they?

Probably not, but I think they have a shot. Raiders and Chiefs on Black Friday. Once again, the Chiefs get lucky because a team is stupid. Let's go look at the Chiefs' schedule here and just point out all the times that they should have lost. Not could have lost, but should have lost. That one yesterday, given all expectations, should have been an L. The way the Raiders had it set up, the game was freaking over, but the Raiders blew it, and that's just what happens to the Chiefs. The Chiefs always find a way to get themselves out of jail, and I despise the Chiefs. I want nothing but losing for the Chiefs. They did the same thing against Denver.

So Denver should have won that game. Now, give the Chiefs credit. They blocked the kick. But rarely are you going to win a game on a blocked kick of like 30-something yards. That doesn't happen, but it happens for the Chiefs. First game of the season against the Ravens. You're talking about an inch. The difference of one inch or so is the difference in that game being a possible winner for Baltimore, but instead becoming a winner for the Chiefs. So the Chiefs, there's

three I've pointed out right now to you. I despise them. I want them to lose notably because of the stupid Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift, movie, Christmas in the Spotlight. And there was another one that I watched this weekend. It was called Touchdown Christmas or some shit, A Chief's Love Story. story even as far as hallmark christmas movies go this was without question the biggest piece of shit i have ever watched let me give you a quick synopsis about this uh chief's love story first of all it's chief sanction so like first of all donna kelsey is in it i I mean, look, I have no interest in seeing Donna Kelsey. Her talent was her womb shat out two annoying children. So good for you. Your skill in life is your vagina made magical douchebags. So you did it. Congratulations, Donna. But she's in this movie. It's clearly just glomming

onto the chiefs things. They know all these Taylor dweebs will watch, and that's fine. Look, give Hallmark credit. You got to give business people credit. People who have a brilliant mind will tell you, hey, here's what we need to do. We need to exploit stupid people for our own gain. What do you think Taylor Swift does when she puts out the same album re-recorded or puts out the same album on vinyl or sells a book of pictures from her tour. She's exploiting stupid people. If you don't learn anything else from this podcast, learn this. Life is about exploiting stupid people. That's how you gain in life. Find dumb people and exploit them. Look at Philadelphia Media as a great example. What does WIP do every day? They do the lamest topics ever.

Why do you hate the cowboys, right? And that exploits stupid people who have nothing going on in their lives. Those people listen and they bitch. That's how you gain wealth. That's how you become popular and famous. You exploit stupid people. So the people making a Chief's Love story Christmas movie, they're pretty brilliant. Why are they brilliant? Because they're able to exploit dummies that will watch it because it's got the Chiefs in the title.

But the plot of this movie is there's this guy, and he works in marketing for the Chiefs. And he goes to eat at some restaurant in Kansas City where he's getting barbecue. The restaurant is owned by this family, I guess. To be fair, I was very hammered and half asleep watching this, but I couldn't tell Jilly I was half asleep, so I had to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I made a lot of noises the whole time to make it seem like I was watching. I don't remember how the fucking movie ends, but I'm going to guess the guy gets the girl and the Chiefs probably win the Super Bowl or some such shit. But the basic gist of this movie was that this family was nominated

for fan of the year for the Chiefs. They've been fans forever. And they have a lucky knit cap that every time they've worn it, the Chiefs have won the Super Bowl or some such shit. They never point out like, well, they do address this plot hole in the movie is why the fuck don't you just wear the knit cap all the time if it's going to have you win the Super Bowl or whatever but there was some sort of like bullshit situation where they're like nope you can only wear it at special occasions what the fuck ever it was a horrible movie even as far as Hallmark movies go which are designed to be horrible they're designed to be hokey gimmicky Christmas feel-good l shebae, falls in love with the town handyman because her husband died of cancer and she's lonely,

and the snowman comes to life and the snowman bangs her. Like, that's what Christmas movies on Hallmark are supposed to be, and that's totally fine. I'm not insulting the genre. It is, again, exploit stupid people. In this case, the stupid people are lonely, horned-out women. Exploit them. However, even as far as shitty Hallmark Christmas movies go, this was the worst Hallmark Christmas movie I've ever seen. I now hate the Chiefs even more,

and I pray that they find ways to finally lose. That's all I want. I hate them. With that said, let's play a couple of commercials and we will look at Sunday's NFL games.

Kirk was guaranteed 250 every game. Now he's got a noodle arm. He's throwing tons of picks. I'm not going to use this as an example to say the Chargers defense is for real.

People like to blow the Chargers defense. We saw them get taken to them pretty good by the Ravens last week. I think the Falcons are just broken. I think Kirk's broken. They're falling off a cliff. They're 6-6. So Falcons are in trouble, although that division 6-6 has you in the lead because it's a terrible division. And Tampa pulled off a miracle. You talk about Christmas miracles. Jesus, we'll get into that. I like the Chargers still. I like what they do offensively. I like Ladd McConkie, who I took for 65 yards. He had like 120. But that game itself is just a drag and kind of an unwatchable, boring game. Steelers Bengals, quite the opposite of a boring, unwatchable game. 10 touchdowns were scored in that one.

Look, we are getting robbed of watching Joe Burrow in the playoffs, whether it's because his defense stinks or what. We are getting robbed of watching a wonderful quarterback in the playoffs, and I will die on this hill. If the Bengals were in, which they will not be, they are dead. They are 4-8. Overall, that means they are not a good football team. But you talk about teams that get lucky, like the Chiefs, who could have lost four or five games. Shoulda, coulda lost to the Raiders this week. Shoulda, coulda lost to the Broncos a couple weeks ago. Shoulda, coulda lost to the Ravens.

They shoulda, coulda lost to the Bengals early in the season when they were gifted a bullshit pass interference call, right? All that, the Bengals are the exact opposite of the Chiefs. And you can say, well, the good teams find a way. Nope. Sometimes the ball literally doesn't bounce your way. Sometimes shit just sucks. Sometimes the breaks don't go your way. Some days you're lined up to beat the Ravens in the first game you play against them and the fucking holder on a field goal can't hold it. Some weeks you're playing the Steelers and you score 38 points and your defense just gets

slaughtered. Some weeks you blow another game to the Ravens. Like this is a team, the Bengals, some weeks you get fucked by the refs in the Chiefs game, all that stuff. They could have three or four more wins. And if they did, they'd be right there in the playoff race and they'd be right there in position to beat some teams because I think now maybe it wouldn't happen but I think Joe strikes fear in the heart of people when he gets into the playoffs like I think people like okay Justin Herbert fine if Joe and Jamar and T are in the playoffs you're more afraid of that than you are of Justin Herbert but of course it's not going to happen because they're 4-8. And then you look at the Steelers.

My man Rusty Wilson with the ultimate resurgence. I'm loving this. I talk about it every week. My man throws for 400 yards. And again, it's against the Bengals. It seems like everybody throws for 400 yards. But my man Rusty, redemption story, man. Everybody left him for dead. They all make fun of him. Always cornball,, redemption story, man. Everybody left him for dead.

They all make fun of him. Always cornball, blah, blah, blah. All he's done, and they shit on him when he took over the starting quarterback job, and now they're nine and three. Are the Steelers a real contender? Maybe. I mean, I know it doesn't look like it yesterday,

but their defense is pretty solid. I mean, Joe and the boys, they were just slinging. It was just one of those days. I still think their defense is solid, and Rusty's out there slinging. Let's fucking go. Here's a game that's a battle of two teams that I believe are total frauds. The Vikings are a fraud. They rallied to beat the Cardinals who are a fraud. The Cardinals are six and six. Nobody takes the Cardinals seriously as a contender, but they're very much in position to win that division, although I still like Seattle, the weapons Seattle has over them.

The Rams even. I'm not dead on the Rams yet, even though they're kind of listless and they beat the Saints yesterday. Who cares? But the Cardinals I don't buy at all, although I like Trey McBride. He's easy money for receiving yards. Marvin Harrison was a live bet I took yesterday. Boom, he got it.

The Vikings are not good. I think that Sam Darnold sucks. Somehow he's not getting the ball to Justin Jefferson. They finally started getting it to him again late in the game, and he got his yardage over 80. But they weren't getting him the ball. They pull off a miracle to beat the Cardinals. I don't buy the Vikings.

They're 10 and two. They're right there. They're a playoff team. I do not buy the Vikings. Sam Darnold's throwing picks again. Like he's just, they're not moving the ball. They've got playmakers.

I mean, Hawkinson can play. Addison can play. Jefferson can play. I still don't buy them though. I still don't buy them, though. I just don't buy Darnold. Colts and Patriots, who gives a shit other than the fact that Anthony Richardson sucked the whole game, yet they came back and won. So the Colts, like, they're there.

If somehow the Broncos can stumble against the Browns, they're right there, the Colts are. I make a little push. Now, if the Broncos do what they should do tonight and win, then you're two games behind them. So you're probably dead, but the Colts aren't totally dead Seahawks and jets. So the Seahawks are at seven and five in that division. Now the jets are a waste. Um, I like watching Gino play my man, Jackson Smith and jig, but more receiving yards. I love him. DK. I love. They could be dangerous depending on the matchup in the playoffs, assuming they get there, because I like their weapons. They got a running game. If Geno doesn't turn the ball over, when Geno's out there slinging, man, Geno can play. Titans

and Commanders, another team that I think is a farce is the Commanders. Great. You beat the Titans. Cool. That was a game that was over in the first quarter due to turnovers, and the Titans never had a shot. I still don't buy the commanders, but they played a game against a team they should beat. They beat them. A team that could take notes from the commanders would be the Texans who also should have beaten the Titans, but they didn't because the Texans are also not a good football team. They survived to beat the Jaguars yesterday. And I think they're a dumb team. I think they're a poorly coached team. I think, again, Stroud still doesn't look like the same guy.

At least Niko's there making plays. Dalton Schultz making plays. But they are a dumb team. They are an undisciplined team. There's a debate about whether or not they're a dirty team. I wouldn't go that far. I just think that you talk about listless or like they're just kind of coasting. Like, like, could they have lost that game yesterday? Sure. Should they have? No. I mean, look at the end of the day, you got the job done. You're eight and five, pat yourself on the back. Yeehaw. You

did it. Texans. I don't think you're scaring anybody. Cause they don't look like they don't look like a team that wants to beat anybody. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but when I watch them, they don't look like a team that can do it. They're there. They barely survive against the horrible Jaguars. By the way, you bring in Mac Jones, who moves the ball to the tune of 200 yards against you on defense. I just, I don't like the Texans. I have a hard time watching them because everything seems to be so difficult. Like it feels like everything is tough to get going offensively then they stall out in the red zone at least Joe Mixon you know kind of jump-started them in the game when they were doing nothing offensively honestly and I hate to say this because I don't

like to watch running football because I like to take passing yards I feel like they abandoned Joe Mixon too often in the name of throw throw throw throw throw throw throw like let Joe Mixon too often in the name of throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw, throw. Like, let Joe Mixon go to work. And what did he do in the second half? I think he had like 70 yards or let's see, he had like 20-something at halftime. He ended up with over 100. So he had a gigantic second half. Keep feeding that dude. But instead, you go out there and it's like, well, here's like seven passes in a row from

Stroud. Like, just give it to Joe Mixon and get something going that way. Can you blow somebody out? Can you convincingly beat somebody? Please. And now you're about to hit that stretch of games where you're going to be dealing with, coming off your bye, you're going to be dealing with the Dolphins who can clearly move the ball. And I think they're going to put up a ton of yards against the Stevens. And then you got to face the Ravens and the Chiefs. So at least they won this game. It would have been much better had they won the game. I would have felt a lot better about

their shitty football had they beaten the shitty Titans I would have felt a lot better about their shitty football had they beaten the shitty Titans last week as well, and they'd be sitting at 9-4 with this stretch coming up. But again, most of it doesn't matter because they're not going to lose the division anyway. Rams and Saints. My God, I can't believe I was doing this, but I was watching the Saints game from a fan perspective yesterday and actually wanted them to win because of how terrible the division is. I'm like, fuck it. At this point, let's go win. And the second

I jumped back on board with, hey, let's go win, they punched me in the dick because Derek Carr sucks. And now they suck again. So Rams are just kind of hanging out. They're six and six. They're very much alive in that division. I don't know if they have another game against the Seahawks. I think they do. So they could very easily win that division. But that was just kind of a dull game where the scoring picked up in the second half. And the Saints had a chance to get to 5-7, win three in a row, and didn't do it. And it pissed me off.

And I was really engaged because it was looking more and more like the Panthers were going to upset the Bucs. Dude, what happened to Bryce Young? Dude gets benched. He comes back, looks like a totally different dude. Leads an incredible drive against Tampa to put them in position to go to overtime or to take the lead late. They do. Then Baker bounces back after being injured, comes back,

leads Tampa back down the field. Dude drills a long field goal. We go to overtime. You talk about a ball buster if you're rooting against Tampa and that. Carolina's in position to go win the game after Tampa missed a field goal. Carolina's in position. They fumble and give the ball back to Tampa, and Tampa goes down and scores. I don't know who the hell is going to win that shitty division. That's why I'm saying as a Saints fan, I don't think a 5 and seven or four and eight team is good. But at this point, like I watched the Saints and this is going

to sound pathetic. I'm going to sound like a total chode when I say this, but the Saints had, had they not blown, like again, you're in a seven game losing streak. If they would have fired the coach after four losses in a row, even five losses in a row, who knows where they are? They might have six wins right now and be right in the middle of this shitty division. Would they beat anybody of significance? No, but still stupid. And so I mentioned the Buccaneers and Panthers, Eagles and Ravens, the Eagles when they're running the ball.

I don't know that anybody can stop them. Saquon Barkley is the MVP of the league. And when they get to running and you can't stop them and they start eating the clock and they take the ball out of Hertz's hands, they don't let Hertz throw the ball to beat you. If you can't stop their running game, honest to God, I don't know that teams can beat them. And as long as Hertz can make one or two big throws whenever they're selling out defensively and he's got somebody like A.J. Brown making plays the way he does. Dude, the Eagles could be unstoppable running the ball. And just imagine the Eagles didn't gift wrap the game for Atlanta.

We're talking about, you talk about that game being different. If they're 11 and one, we're talking about them totally different. Instead, they're 10 and two and they're just kind of hanging out again. People just not talking about them because of what we're seeing from the Lions, and I get that. If the Eagles are able to run the ball, they are unstoppable. You saw it in the second half of the game against the Ravens yesterday. Late in the game, when the Ravens are still in the game, they missed the field goal that could have cut it to one possession, and then the Eagles just go to work running the ball, short passes, a little Goddard here, blah, blah, blah.

And then you just keep on running. And before you know it, there's 12, 13, 12 minutes to go in the game. And before you know it, the Eagles have ran 12 plays and there's six minutes to go in the game. There's five minutes to go in the game. They are dominant in that way in the way they run the ball. And then when they're just lulling you to sleep, lulling you to sleep, to sleep oh by the way Saquon puts the exclamation point on with a 25-yard like that's just what they do their running game is virtually unstoppable and if you sell out to stop it I think Hurts can make one or two throws I look I'm not counting on Hurts to win you Super

Bowls but Saquon Barkley could. And does anybody think, like Jared Goff's been great, but like people talk about Jared Goff like he's a god of quarterback playing Hurts' dog shit. It's still Jared Goff. Imagine that world. Jared Goff, the Jalen Hurts for a chance to go to the Super Bowl. And if the Eagles can run the ball. Now, here's where the Eagles should be punching themselves in the dick. Blowing that game to Atlanta puts you in position to not have the bye and home field. If the Lions do their job,

which the Lions, by the way, could very well lose to Green Bay this week, but you would be in position to have the number one seed if you're the Eagles in that spot, and then if you're playing at home, grinding it out with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, I would probably take the Eagles to win that game. And I'm saying that. So I have to put the Eagles on that tier of teams that can win the Superbowl Eagles, Lions, the Ravens may not be on there. I don't believe the bills are on there despite the fact

they dominated the 49ers who are totally broken and it was in the snow so that game ain't even worth talking about but like I would say Eagles I would say Lions and I would say Chiefs because of Patrick Mahomes and my outside shot in that would be the Packers and let's see what the Packers do this week against the Lions with a healthy Jordan Love all right there you go I still got a bunch of other stuff to get into I'll pump some more out for you here in just a little bit you guys are great
